The Risk for avalanches in the north of Sweden

"be very careful, it can be really dangerous on the mountain in Abisko and Riksgränsen."

"Lavinfaran is deemed to be substantial over the weekend, according to the environmental protection agency lavinprognoser.see."

"on Saturday and Sunday is expected to lavinfaran be significant in the northernmost fjällområdena in Abisko and Riksgränsen. It means a third on the five-grade scale, and means that conditions can become dangerous."

"In the area are two problems that can cause avalanches: drevsnöflak and consisting of the flatbed, according to lavinprognoser.see. Therefore, it is recommended riders to choose rides on flatter terrain, and especially avoid the places where the thickness of the snow cover switches."

"The enduring flak is treacherous, lavinfaran is not visible, and remain long after the snow has fallen. Since the expected temperatures and rain should riders keep track of if the top the snow cover becomes wet and soft, and should also avoid staying under steep slopes."

"In Kebnekaisefjällen is lavinfaran not assessed, but in the vindel mountain and in the southern Mountains, that danger has been described as moderate on Saturday. This does not mean that it is non – existent- it can be dangerous in some places, according to the lavinprognoser.see."

"Sunday is expected to be rated up to significant. Even in the vindel mountain and the southern mountains consists the danger in drevsnöflak and persistent weak layers and precipitation in the form of rain or freezing rain so the snow will be wet and soft."

"In both the southern mountains of jämtland and Härjedalsfjällen is lavinfaran little over the weekend."
